WWII ended USSR and the USA are enemies because they both had nuclear weapons. USA and USSR politicians would use fear to control the citizens in their country. USA made the word communism a sracy thing “red scare”.
Nuclear weapons and the USA vs USSR as a thing. There was a lot of propaganda in different countries. And one of our previous projects we learned about the Manhattan Project this directly ties into the Cold War because the Cold War is mostly about America in the USSR, not trying to directly fight each other so they can not end up in a nuclear war. What about the importance of the Cold War and how it was developed is a really important thing understanding why the US and USSR could not fight each other directly, but had to fight each other indirectly. I want to improve my understanding of the Cold War and what was really happening and I want to understand why the Cold War was so important and why it’s still important to today.
One of the things I’ll be looking forward into this project is understanding the propaganda that was showed on both sides and why the propaganda was used to scare people to think that one side was better than the other.
Another thing I wanna understand is why people trusted their government so much during this time even when a lot of what they were saying, doesn’t really make sense. I think it’s important to understand why people trusted their government so much and why they thought that their governments were doing something good for them.
my main intention with this project is to get an understanding on the importance of the Cold War and do better myself as a learner so I can understand how propaganda is used in countries so that their citizens will trust them.
